Question

In the reaction :
C₆H₅CHO+ C₆H₅NH₂ →
C₆H₅N = CHC₆H₅ + H₂O
The compound, C₆H₅N = CHC₆H₅ is known as
(a) aldol (b) Schiff’s base
(c) Schiff’s reagent (d) Benedict’s reagent

Answer 1

The compound C₆H₅N = CHC₆H₅ is known as Schiff's Base.

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

In the given reaction aldehyde (C6H5CHO) reacts with aniline ( C6H5NH2 )

and they form amine  ( C6H5-N=CHC6H5 ) which is known as Schiff's Base.

The reaction is given as:

C₆H₅CHO+ C₆H₅NH₂ →  C₆H₅N = CHC₆H₅ + H₂O

Thus the compound C₆H₅N = CHC₆H₅ is known as Schiff's Base.
